The correct management of immunocompromised patients with pneumonia is debated. We evaluated the prevalence, risk factors, and characteristics coming from community pneumonia.We conducted a secondary analysis an international, multicenter study enrolling adult hospitalized in 222 hospitals 54 countries worldwide. Risk factors for immunocompromise included AIDS, aplastic anemia, asplenia, hematological cancer, chemotherapy, neutropenia, biological drug use, lung transplantation, chronic...
Introduction: Novel cuffs made of polyurethane or with a tapered shape were devised to overcome fluid-sealing limitations. However, no studies have assessed potential tracheal injury associated these cuffs. Hypothesis: We bronchoscopically produced by HVLP following 72 hours intubation and after 24 96 from extubation. Methods: 16 pigs (Kg 39 ± 3) intubated 7.0 ETTs comprising cylindrical, PVC cuffs: ETT1 Ruschelit® Safety Clear plus (2 pigs), ETT2 Hi-LoTM pigs); cylindrical cuff: ETT3...
Introduction: Following tracheal intubation and endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff inflation, mucociliary clearance rate (MCR) is drastically reduced (1). Hypothesis: We assessed the effects on MCR of ETTs comprising high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) cuffs different designs materials. Methods: 16 pigs (Kg 38.9 ± 3.4) were intubated with 7.0 cylindrical, PVC cuffs: ETT1 Ruschelit® Safety Clear plus (2 pigs), ETT2 Hi-LoTM pigs); cylindrical polyurethane cuff: ETT3 Kimvent Microcuff conical ETT4...
